ALLERGY TO CONTRACEPTION: ALLERGY CONDOM, WHICH HAS NO SPERMICIDE LUBRICANT

You are left, if you are sensitive to many things, with virtually no choice in contraception except natural methods. The most effective method of natural contraception is called the sympto-thermal method, combining the mucus method (also known as the ovulation or Billings method) with measuring temperature changes and other changes in bodily symptoms. Used correctly, the sympto-thermal method has a failure rate equivalent to a cap or diaphragm used with spermicide, a condom, or a coil, according to the Family Planning Service. Most women are fertile for only about seven days each month around ovulation. Learning to monitor the signs can help you identify the times when unprotected sexual intercourse will not result in pregnancy. The mucus produced by the cervix has characteristic changes on days prior to and just after ovulation. Body temperature also has identifiable changes around the time of ovulation. Other symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloated tummy and breasts, and an increase in libido often accompany ovulation. During the few days each month when the woman is fertile, you can either abstain from intercourse, or use a method of contraception which you can tolerate in small amounts.

The drawbacks of this method are that it requires a lot of attention and monitoring, and that it is probably only possible for people who have a regular and co-operative partner, or who are in a stable relationship. Furthermore, for women who have an extremely irregular cycle, or do not menstruate, it can be impossible to detect the bodily changes.

A good family planning clinic or experienced doctor will be able to help you work out what to do. Try the Durex.
